Guest mark09 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 i have a mk2 cortina and was wondering if anyone knows about the front struts and if you can replace the shocks with new ones? if not what other sturts will fit, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheCreator Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 umm i dunno if they are the same as an escorts one , but they should be type 1 macpharson struts ...taek them out ...take the spring off and undo the lil retianing nut at the top ..when you buy the new ones they'll come as an insert just plonk those in and reverse the job ...simple as .. mongol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYKOV6 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 yup they are replacable be sure to put a small amount of light oil in the strut be fore u put the insert back in as this helps to keep them cool under hi loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
